The Reckoning

Description

The reckoning has begun. Women have broken their silence and the world is finally listening. To have this moment be a transformative movement in American history, we examine the pain behind the anger, why it took so long for women to speak out, and the price women paid when they "Leaned In" and spoke up. Today we discuss how we move forward and dare to ask the questions others are afraid to ask.
